Chapter 114 The Mystery of the Sorcerer's Stone of Immortality
cost?

In exchange for a potion of near-immortality?
Ron even forgot about the happy water in front of him, he held his chin and thought carefully.

Although Nicole Flamel likes to ask questions, he also gave some hints before asking questions, although the concept of equivalent exchange was seen by Ron from the outline of the book "Alchemy: From Introduction to Burial" , but Nicole Flamel also gave a hint.

And this confusing question still made Ron a little distressed.

Because this is not mentioned at all in the original book, when talking about Nicolas May, Dumbledore just said: The Philosopher's Stone is not a very wonderful thing; adventure.

Such vague words, but the price of longevity is not mentioned in the book.

Of course, Ron has also heard some strange speculations in his previous life, such as the unacceptable and terrible price of losing his perception and becoming a living dead who relies on potions, but it is obvious that Nicole in front of him Lemay has complete emotions, likes and dislikes of normal people, he looks no different from an ordinary old man, his body is healthy, and his spirit is still full.

'He must have revealed something.'

Ron recalled what he saw in the letter, what he heard now, and even what he learned from the conversation with Bully
'Bli? '

Ron seemed to have caught a clue.

'You made my boring life full of novelty and fun again, and gave me new hope for the world.'

’ So before this, Nicole Flamel had reached the point where he couldn’t find anything else to linger on, to be passionate and interested again? '

Ron sighed, he looked up at Nicolas, and the old man looked at him calmly.

'A 300-year-long... hoax?Even if it's interesting, it should be boring."

With a rough guess in Ron's mind, he sorted out the news he had received before and organized his words.

"Is the elixir really able to live forever?"

"I mean continuation of life."

Ron looked at the old man seriously, and asked a question that seemed meaningless.

"Why do you think so, I have lived for more than 600 years, my wife, and even my old friend Bully."

"We're all becoming fossils, aren't we?"

Nicole May crossed his fingers, rubbed a ruby ​​ring on his index finger with his thumb, and tilted his head to look at this burly little wizard with great interest.

"We can't stop death from coming, no matter how powerful we are, or have hidden means that even the god of death can't detect."

"The story of the Three Sacred Artifacts, although a bit exaggerated, is indeed what happened. Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt, please continue."

"Death is the end of all life, as long as we continue to move forward along the long river of time, then we will meet our own end."

"If the elixir of life is constantly paving new roads on the already cut off roads, then there must be limits, and people have limits, so the more you go forward, the roads you pave. The road is getting harder and harder."

"The price you pay will be greater, until it reaches the point where you, Mr. LeMay, cannot afford it."

"But you now look like you have at least another 630 years to live."

"Thank you, if there is such a day, I will put a bouquet of flowers on your grave, although the wording is not very good, but I have done this a hundred, two hundred I can't remember how many times .”

"But what you said is indeed good. If I want to, I should be able to live until the next era."

"okay I know."

Ron smiled at Nicolas, who had found the last piece of the puzzle.

"But you don't want to, do you?"

"You don't want to live that long, if at that time you can't find a reason to support your life, or a reason to drive you to live."

"What you pay and what you get are actually the same thing, right?"

The smile on the corner of Nicolas' mouth became brighter and brighter.

"You passed the level. You are the seventh person I have ever met in my life who guessed the answer. But except for you and Dumbledore, those people are all dead."

"However. You guessed a little more different things than them. You should know a little about alchemy, right? In this era, there are very few people who have dabbled in ancient alchemy, or have a little knowledge of it. That boy Dumbledore is not interested in such old stuff, he is always willing to find new things, he is a child with a childlike innocence, a very interesting little guy."

Nicole May picked up the Philosopher's Stone on the table, and played with it in his hands, as if rubbing a walnut. He looked at the stone with a hint of bitterness.

"There was never an elixir of life."

Nicole May dropped the Philosopher's Stone casually, then shook her head firmly.

"I got a long life close to eternal life from the Philosopher's Stone, but I also paid for my life, my desire to live, and to stay in this world."

"It's ironic, right? As an immortal, after I drank the potion, I began to hate living from the bottom of my heart. In the first few decades, or even 100 years, I committed suicide every day, but I survive every time because I have the Philosopher's Stone"

"Hehehe"

"I don't know if I'm timid or bold. I'm afraid to live in this world, but I survived bravely. This is something that other people can't experience at all."

"I also hope that you will never experience it."

"I used to share the elixir of life."

"But they didn't even survive the hour after drinking the potion."

"The elixir of life is not a potion, it is created by the Philosopher's Stone, an eternal curse."

"It fixed me at the time when I drank the potion. I drank this potion when I was 110 years old, so in the following 500 years, my appearance has never changed."

"My wife actually complains to me sometimes, why didn't I make the Philosopher's Stone and brew this cursed potion when she was at her most beautiful."

"But I don't!"

Nicole May suddenly put on a childish look.

"At this age, I still go to the beach to bask in the sun and look at handsome guys. If I'm young, would it be worth it?"

"I don't want to wear a cuckold."

Nicolas muttered softly, although France is the capital of romance, a normal man would not accept this kind of thing, that would be too bad, this is not the country of radiation people who live a good life, how can there be such a thing? Exchange more flowers to exchange.

"Returning to the topic, there is no elixir of life in this world. The curse of the Philosopher's Stone has frozen my time. I am still moving forward on the long river of time, but I am swinging back and forth between drowning and drowning."

"But it's also understandable. This is the only function of the Philosopher's Stone, and it's the only function he can do."

"In today's words, that is eternal transformation."

Nicole May snapped her fingers, and an Irish leprechaun wearing a funny hat appeared.

"Give me a coin, Teemo."

"Okay~hehehe~"

The little leprechaun smiled cheerfully, and then popped out a gold coin with his fingers, and then disappeared instantly.

"The leprechaun's gold coin will return to its original shape after a period of time, but before the transformation disappears, except for the fluctuation of magic power that any wizard can detect, this gold coin is a gold coin."

"Wizards can do it too, but the Leprechaun's skills are more subtle."

Nicole May stretched out his finger to touch the glass on the coffee table, and the glass instantly turned into gold, but it was transformed by Transfiguration. The essence of Transfiguration is to use magic to simulate and change the form and composition of matter.

But it is temporary, no one can achieve eternal transformation.

But the Sorcerer's Stone does.

"The only power of the Philosopher's Stone is to turn any temporary thing into an eternal existence, including life. It can stagnate life and turn life into eternity. When there is no passing, then eternal life becomes a thing that can be seen Things that are achieved but that cannot really be achieved."

"I'm probably really good. In the face of the ultimate temptation like death, I was able to remain unmoved for hundreds of years. I'm so good!"

Nicole May slapped her hands happily, and praised herself generously, as happy as a child who has eaten candy.

"So... now it's time for your reward."

"Dumbledore said you need a magic medium."

"Not a wand?"

"Yes, it's not the wand. He told me about you. If you just have the magic that flows in your blood...then the wand is fine."

"But your magic flow rate is quite rare for a wizard with such a talent."

"Is there anyone like me before?" Ron asked in surprise.

"Yes, I have seen about [-] or [-] people with similar talents as you. Their magic power erupted like a flood. A cutting spell can cut a mountain, and a blasting spell can blow up a lake. A hundred wizards working together can't break even the simplest armor protection."

"However, they generally don't live long. The longest-lived person I've ever seen lived to be around 17 years old. He is a naturally awakened wizard and one of the best among them. He can even mobilize the natural The magic power, the talent is so scary."

"Can you imagine it? A child about four years old, who has never even learned magic, killed a group of fire dragons raging in the village with his bare hands. While crying, he manipulated the magic power to remove the dragon's head from the fire dragon's body. The neck was pulled out abruptly, I saw it with my own eyes."

"If he didn't exaggerate the flow rate of magic power more than you, he would probably leave an unprecedented huge impact on the history of magic in the world. He could use his own power to round and flatten the world and play with it wantonly. At the age of ten, there was A black wizard organization planned to arrest him, and more than 100 people came, but he sent a large area of ​​land under the feet of the group of people directly out of the planet with a floating spell."

"But he died. Since he was 12 years old, the excessive flow of magic power made him naturally emit more than the upper limit of his own recovery. No matter what method I use, including the Philosopher's Stone, I can't stop this talent. The backlash brought about can only be alleviated slightly."

"He died due to the exhaustion of magic power, and he didn't even leave his remains, all of which were turned into fly ash."

"So, being too talented might not be a good thing, but fortunately, your talent doesn't seem to be that strong. It's an exaggeration, but it's not outrageous."

When Nicole May said this, Ron seemed to hear a cheerful laughter. Ron's most respected uncle still loves Ron very much. He is not like Dumbledore, who treats the symptoms but not the root cause.

"The failed Sorcerer's Stone I originally gave you was actually to supplement your mana consumption. The method Dumbledore taught you is correct. It is a method I have developed to relieve this symptom. The Rubik's Cube can Have you unlocked the third step?" Nicolas asked with a smile.

"Not yet, I'm still a little trembling, I guess I'll have to practice for a while." Ron scratched his head, the third-order magic requires a higher degree of mana control, which is more than twice as difficult as the second-order magic.

"That's good, your speed is already very, very fast, which means that your magic power flow rate has not touched the lowest limit of those people. If the flow rate is low, it will be easier to control magic power, so I will Don't worry, I think you can at least live until your son goes to school, or even a little longer, mediocrity is a blessing!"

Maybe that could be considered a compliment?
Ron always felt weird after hearing this.

"To reward you for your excellent answer, and for guessing something the little ones didn't."

Nicole May picked up the Philosopher's Stone on the table, and then placed the Philosopher's Stone that was about to run out in front of Ron.

"Just use it as a material, and use the waste heat at the end."

"As for the magic power medium, what kind do you want?"

"You can be greedy, after all, this old guy like me has nothing but endless gold."

"Oh, by the way, there are also cards. When will my hero card be ready?"

(Today's deadline is [-], I can't write anymore.)
